 My
creations are an extension of my personality in all its faceted,
eclectic and expressive style; my gift is embellishment - and I do take
that quite seriously.... I create the extraordinary from the common
place. I work with nature, found objects, vintage pieces as well as
metal clay and creations of other arts. I have the ability to
gather separate components that may seem regular or run or the mill,
and put them together in a way that will express your very personality!
You'll know it when you see it! It will call to you! You
will not even be aware that you needed it until it finds you.
Working
with silver, colors and significant stones I create gemstone treasures
that are meant to compliment the personality and spirit of those who
wear my work. I feel strongly that each piece has it's rightful companion,
and that they will discover each other when the time is right. If you
find something that calls to you, please snatch it up while you can,
as I repeat very few of my creations and designs...when a treasure has
been found....it is forever out of my design repertoire.
Media's
proclamation:
Margherite’s
work has an organic feel to it, very fresh and natural.
There is a harmonic balance to her creations. The use of materials
and the structure of the pieces have a rhythm to them that truly holds
them together and simply works!
She has an incredibly broad scope and can handle a wide variety
of styles, all comfortably.
With
a Bohemian background Margherite is a lethal compilation of gypsy
and domestic goddess who loves to use what nature has to offer in
her handiwork. Calling
on all of her life experiences to accentuate her designs, she creates
items to adorn and compliment your everyday essence…the beauty within.
The
use of natural materials, organic stones, semi-precious gemstones
and crystals, freshwater pearls as well as other raw resources is
the basis of her work.
Sterling Silver findings are utilized exclusively for its universal
allure and the luminous metaphysical influences that the mineral itself
boasts.
Her
philosophy is simply this:
Sometimes…feeling
gorgeous.…simply outweighs practicality.
It
is that belief that is
reflected in her designs. She
strives to create “any day adornment” with lasting beauty and style
that transcends the fashion fads. “Baubles that might accompany a
silk dress as easily as a pair of jeans, with equal grace and elegance.”
With
Margherite and Shimmerlings you will discover a rich line of exclusive,
one-of-a-kind and limited edition jewelry that you will not find elsewhere!
What
moves me most deeply in my art, is the delight on the fair faces
of folk when they are wearing my jewelry, a look that conveys without
words that they feel most gorgeous and sure of themselves! That
they have chosen wisely and they are certain of their treasure.
 To
that end, I will share a story....in
my not so distant travels I happened to acquaint myself with another
creative individual. After looking at all my work on display,
and talking to me for a bit, this individual told me that she felt my
creations were very much "Pixies". I found that a bit
strange at first (...you
may dare to inquire about my own Pixie when we meet!)
I asked what brought her to that conclusion, and her answer was this:
she told me that if most other jewelry was 'fairy' jewelry (beautiful,
creative and individual) then my creations were 'pixie jewelry' all
of those things, but cleverness and some sass...because, after all,
a Pixie is simply a Fairy with an attitude! I have loved her analogy
from that moment on, and I am working with my authentic self to create
the best Pixie Treasures that I am capable of! I hope you find something
here that calls directly to you!
Please browse

store
for treasures undiscovered; explore the gallery

previously designed, and feel free to

questions or personal requests.
I would love to hear from you!
